Kaveh AgeRe Headcanons

Slight Warning: nightmares, bedwetting, emetophobia, mommy issues, spoilers for Kaveh's backstory, read at your own volition

Kaveh is a flip!

—Kaveh is a flip with a little lean!

—Kaveh's regression age is 0-3, he's baby!

—Kaveh's primary caregiver(s) are Alhaitham, Tighnari, Cyno, and on a few rare occasions, Wanderer!

—You'd think he'd be a high maintenance/high energy little due to how hyper he is as an adult, but baby Kaveh is actually rather low energy. He likes taking naps quite a lot too.

—Kaveh's favorite toys are a Goose plushie named Gee, and a tin of building blocks Alhaitham bought him. Kaveh loves building little towers and houses. Kaveh takes Gee everywhere with him, and Kaveh will cry if Gee gets "hurt" (stained fur/ripped fabric/fell in some mud/all those things) and will be inconsolable until Gee is better.

—Kaveh cries quite a surprising amount, the smallest things make him cry, he dropped his bottle? Its the end of the world. The sky isn't the right shade of blue? Unacceptable. Oftentimes a warm bottle and a cuddle will calm him down, but sometimes Kaveh just needs/wants to cry.

—Kaveh's pacifier is orange and yellow with a lion sticker, it's basically glued to his mouth, it's one of the reasons why Kaveh is nonverbal when in Littlespace.

—Kaveh is a padded little, he has nightmares of when his parents left, especially his father, which often leads to needing a diaper change.

—Kaveh wears almost exclusively onesies, he hates wearing adult clothes, especially his usual attire with the open chest.

—Kaveh has been mistaken as a girl, which he takes as a compliment. Kaveh doesn't mind being girly, which Alhaitham thinks is cute and likes to see how far that goes, so far Alhaitham has gotten away with putting Kaveh's hair in pigtails, dressing him in all pink, and on one occasion, even put Kaveh in a dress. Which Kaveh thoroughly enjoyed.

—Kaveh has mild food restrictions, he is a vegan as an adult, but he's made it clear to his caregivers that he'd rather eat meat or animal products then make his little-self go hungry. Oftentimes, Kaveh just has fruit and Oat milk bottles, but on a few rare occasions, he'll help Ali—The name is little-self blessed Alhaitham with—finish up some eggs.

—Kaveh gets stress-sickness a lot when he's small, especially when he thinks about his parents, poor baby throws up a lot because of stress, which means he's in bed a lot. Tighnari is an impromptu pediatrician at times, making sure Kaveh is okay.

—Kaveh can, will, and has cried over thinking his caregiver(s) was leaving him, even just being in a different room for too long will send him into hysterical pleading that he'll be good and that he won't cause anymore troubles and to just please keep loving him. (Alhaitham is not too happy over how his mother let her grief traumatize Kaveh)

—Kaveh's primary little(s) are Alhaitham, Tighnari, and Cyno! On rare occasions he'll babysit Aether.

—surprisingly, Kaveh prefers feminine titles like "mama" over more masculine ones like "dada".

—absolutely loves reading/playing with his kiddos, Kaveh is the go-to for storytime in Sumeru, hands-down the best storyteller in the region.

—Kaveh isn't afraid to dress up/get dirty with his kiddos, his Little's are the only ones allowed to touch his hair, what an honor!

—Kaveh can't cook that well—his parents never taught him—but that doesn't mean his Little's are living off fast food, Kaveh is teaching himself simple, baby-safe foods, so far, all his Little's unanimously agree his fruit purées are amazing.

—Kaveh has an amazing singing voice, but he gets stage-freight, he only sings to his babies when he thinks they are asleep.

—Kaveh loves carrying/holding his Little's, which works for him because 3 out of 4 of the Little's he cares for are clingy infants.

—Kaveh is a rather emotional person as we know, you can expect any art work his babies have made him framed on the wall, and he will brag about how talented his Little's are to anyone/anything with the ability to hear.

—the best at comforting, Kaveh knows all the right words—or lack of words—to calm and comfort his babies, Mama Kaveh always is open for a cuddle if needed.

I'm new to tumblr and I don't know if I'm doing this right but I just saw your agere matchups and I was wondering if I could request a genshin cg? My little age is 1-3 and I like stuffies, coloring, and scrapbooking

Welcome to Tumblr! I hope you enjoy your stay :3

I think your caregiver would be...

Kaveh!

Oh. He is such a sentimental man

He will sit down with you and scrapbook for as long as you'd like

Or until his legs go numb

(most of the time it's his legs that give in first)

Kaveh is the kind of caregiver to want to help with everything

Which. Is mostly a good thing for a baby/toddler!

He's strong. He can and will carry you!

He's not sugary sweet with his nicknames for you, so he'll usually stick to your name or "my light"

If you refuse to do something (i.e, take a nap), he'll speak through one of your stuffies!

He's very silly

He doesn't want you to see any of his petty squabbles with Al Haitham

So if the scribe does try anything, he counteracts it by being extra silly during it

Surprisingly, Al Haitham will play into it if he sees that you're regressing

"Kaveh, your rent is late again."

"Uh oh, my light! Looks like the green giant is back.."

"The green giant.. Kaveh have you-"

"Ah."

Kaveh will sit down and color with you as often as he can

He wants to be in touch with what's up with you too!! He doesn't just want to be an idle supervisor

He compliments your coloring skills so often

Big on the compliments with him !! He is just so full of love

He cried the first time you gave him a cg nickname

No matter what you want to call him/ how you see him, it makes him so emotional

^^ Kaveh at any given moment

[baby--b4t]

i finally drew some genshin babiesss (；^ω^) i mainly drew this to cope with this nasty cold im trying to get over /nav hopefully everything is readable! (〃＞＿＜;〃)

ofc!!!!

Tags: fluff, agere, sfw agere, little! Alhaitham

Rating: General Audiences/E for Everyone

When Alhaitham regresses, he's usually around 5-7

He likes to be called Hayi or قمري (qamar/my moon)

Has to have a weighted blanket. Otherwise he will make sure your eardrums are ruptured by the end of the night.

His favorite little food is mac'n cheese with appley slices

Usually pretty good at taking care of himself, but he just needs someone there with him, and that usually ends up being a poor frazzled Kaveh

Definitely has a box of fidgets

His favorite one is an ONO roller*, it's green :)

Gets too overwhelmed in public, so can't really go out into town when little

When he does, he holds his CGs hand so tightly it might break off

If he somehow gets separated from them, he'll hide in a bathroom and cry until they find him

At nap time, he doesn't complain one bit

Coloring is absolutely required to keep him sane, but if he snaps a crayon he needs to be reminded to take deep deep breaths

Kaveh is really good with kids, so it's no surprise that he's amazing with little Hayi

When he's with Kaveh, Alhaitham sticks to a strict strict schedule

Wake up at 9am, have breakfast, wash up and get dressed, do some chores, play, eat lunch, play, take a nap, eat dinner, watch a movie, have a bedtime snack, then be in bed with lights off by 10pm

Alhaitham absolutely adores the routine they have, and it makes him really happy when Kaveh gets to wake him up with a forehead kiss, a smile, and a "Morning sweetheart."

Usually sleeps in his own bed, but sometimes he'll get scared and ask to snuggle with Kaveh or whomever is his CG at the time

*ONO roller is pictured below

[azuresky-agere]

Hihi, could I request some baby Alhaitham hcs?💚 Just finished his story quest and he's a baby

baby alhaitham....augh my baby....

Agere!Alhaitham requested by @baby-zakarii

"If there's nothing to do, then I'll just put on my soundproof earpieces and nap for a while."

─ 𖥔 ─

-Headspace age is around 0-3, and he just...naps. Doesn't matter the time, or location, he will just sleep.

-First saw regression in a book and was rather curious, so he opted for a night where Kaveh was elsewhere in the nation dealing with a client, and let himself go- intending to journal down his thoughts.

-Of course, he had virtually none. The thought of writing made him want to cry, so he played for a few hours.

-Babbles and cooes!! He doesn't really talk, and aside from noises and pointing at stuff he wants, talking is rather difficult for the regressed scribe.

-Cyno, Tighnari, Kaveh, Dehya and Nilou know about his headspace, with Cyno and Tighnari acting like "babysitters" for Alhaitham when Kaveh is busy dealing with a client.

-Prefers to be padded when regressed. He doesn't mind pull-ups or diapers (although diapers are preferred due to the texture they have) and his babysitters know, and don't mind.

-Is a very "classic" baby, according to Kaveh. He'll only eat porridge with honey, fruits, ect- and a way to let a CG know he's regressing in public is to request "porridge with honey". It's a secret!

-It took a while for him to get into a routine of regressing once a month at least. Since discovering the coping mechanism, he's improved a lot- his stress has gone down, and he's generally a bit more happy and relaxed.

-Has a stuffed animal of a Sumeru "Dusk Bird" and her name is "Honey", and going anywhere (regressed or not) without Honey is dubbed a "crime" in his eyes.

Hello! I really like your headcanons, they’re always super cute!!! Is it ok if I request for cg!Zhongli or Kaveh hcs? If possible could there be a part where the little is scared to sleep on their own in the dark? If that’s too specific then whatever you’d like to write is fine!! Thank you 💖

Hello! Thanks for the request! :O the more specific the better!<33

Caregiver!Zhongli & Regressor!Reader

The sun has set, and you find yourself struggling to sleep. It’s dark, and it seems to make you anxious. Hiding under your blankie wasn’t helping too much either. You glance at the gap under the door, seeing the dim light coming through, and decide to go see your caregiver, Zhongli. It’s not too much of a surprise that he is awake right now. You plop off of the side of your bed, dragging the blankie in your little balled fist behind you. You reach your spare hand to the door handle, and open it, peeking one eye through the slightly open door.

Through the gap, you see Zhongli on the couch, one leg over the other, and a candle lightly flickering on the table besides the arm of the couch. He is reading a book, and flipping through the pages slowly. You look behind you, reconsidering going to “bug” him.. but the dark room behind you makes you more scared. You then open the door, and close it behind you, as you slowly, and shyly walk towards the arm of the couch, opposite to Zhongli. Your eyes peering over the arm of the couch, waiting to be acknowledged.

It only takes a few seconds for Zhongli to notice you, he smiles softly as he sets the book he was reading beside him.

“Little one? Is something the matter?” He asks in a soft, and gentle tone.

“..'s too.. dark n m room..” you whisper, your little voice a bit shaky.

Zhongli gives a soft ‘aw’, and pats his thigh, gesturing you to come over. “Come now, dear. We wouldn’t want you to be scared now, would we?” He asks, as he pulls you up and onto his lap. He adjusts your blankie to go around your shoulders, while still letting you hold part of your blankie in your fist. He gently pets your hair, humming a soft Liyue Lullaby, that you had heard before… from many of the Nation's citizens. Before you knew it, your body was at ease, and you were already falling asleep.

The candle flickering and clicker in the background. Zhongli held you, and kept you warm and safe the entire time. Eventually, you fell asleep, and so did he…

The sound of the thunderstorm outside mixed with your noticeably dark room has left you scared. You are curled up and sniffling… warm tears running down your cheeks as the overwhelming and scary environment surrounds you. You hug your stuffy to your chest tightly, trying to make the scary go away… but it doesn’t seem to work. The sound of foot steps going down the hall jerk your attention.. a soft whimper through your sniffles escapes you.. as you look at the door. You see a dim light approaching your door, and you hug your stuffie tighter. The door nob jitters as it’s turned… and the dim light enters through the door ad it’s slowly guided open.

A familiar figure stands in the door way, it’s Kaveh, your Caregiver, holding a candle.

“Sweetheart? Are you alright?” Kaveh's voice seemed to make the previously scary room a bit brighter.

You sit up in your bed, sniffling, still big tears running down your cheeks. Your hiccuped a little through your tears and shook your head. You reached your arms out to him, your hair messy and sticking to your cheeks from the tears. Kaveh sighed softly as he set the candle on your night stand, and picked you up. He held you firmly, and ran his hand slowly up and down your back.

“Why all the tears, my dear?” He cooed softly, resting his cheek against the side of your head. He bounced slowly and subtly up and down, trying to soothe you. “You’re gonna need a bed/crib in my room won’t you, baby?” He asked with a gentle giggle. You give a little whine, feeling as if you were being teased, but even so… that wasn’t a bad idea in your mind.

He comforts you for a little longer, until your tears have finally calmed. He then sighs softly, “What made you cry so much, hm?” He asked with concern.

“'S too dark” you babbled quietly into his shoulder, your hand still clung to his shoulder. He nods slowly, listening and thinking.

“Why not sleep In my room tonight, to avoid anymore scares. Would that help?” He asked gently, giving you the option to say no. You didn’t like sleeping alone, so you nodded eagerly, and subconsciously started sucking on your thumb. He chuckled softly. “Alright.”

With that, he carried you to his room, snuggling you, and keeping you warm and safe for the rest of the night. <3

Aww! I just read your little Kaveh headcanons! I was wondering if you had an idea of what would happen if Kaveh got lost cuz he didn't hold Alhaitham's hand. I wanna draw a little thing but I can't think rn (hope dis makes sense lol)

Ahh, I'm so glad you liked it! I was just gonna do some headcanons but ended up writing a little drabble, hehe~

Little Kaveh and Carer Alhaitham Fic:

Hold My Hand

Kaveh was having an absolutely fantastic day.

Going out with Alhaitham was a good day in and of itself, but today was particularly special; one of Kaveh's favorite museums had been closed for renovations for nearly two years, and it had just reopened the previous weekend. Alhaitham (who was incredibly thoughtful despite insisting otherwise) had surprised Kaveh with tickets to see the new exhibits, and the pair had chosen today for their visit.

They had been exploring the museum for hours, but Kaveh was still overflowing with happy energy even as the sun began to dip below the tops of nearby buildings. An announcement that the museum would be closing in fifteen minutes echoed through the halls, passing in one of Kaveh's ears and right out the other.

"Haitham, look!" Kaveh pointed toward an advertisement for an exhibit further down a long hallway: it was a huge scale model of one of Kaveh's favorite ancient buildings in the city. He was practically vibrating with excitement as he scampered away down the hall and turned a few corners until he reached his destination several rooms away.

The model was just as spectacular as Kaveh could have ever hoped. He poured over all the little details, circling around the exhibit and reading all the plaques, babbling excitedly and pointing at parts he recognized.

"Haitham! Isn't this the best?" Kaveh bounced happily as he turned back to his partner, only to find himself alone in the room. Excitement immediately drained from his mind, replaced with cold anxiety at being left alone. The last vestiges of adulthood his brain was clinging to fell away, and suddenly the empty room felt huge and terrifying.

"H-haitham?" No response. "Dada? Dada!" Kaveh ran to the entrance of the room, trying and failing to hold back the tears that filled his eyes when all he saw beyond the doorway was yet another empty room. It was very close to closing time now, and imagining himself locked away in the dark all alone had Kaveh bawling openly in seconds.

"D-dada!" he sobbed, standing frozen in the doorway, eyes screwed shut and hands clenched in the front of his shirt. He was spiralling, small and alone, until-

"Kaveh!"

Kaveh's eyes popped open and his crying momentarily ceased as he was suddenly enveloped in a warm embrace. It took only a split-second of processing before he recognized his dada's arms around him, and his tears began again, this time filled with relief. He clung to Alhaitham's shirt and sobbed into his shoulder as his carer slowly rubbed his back.

"Kaveh, you know not to run off like that..." Alhaitham's voice was low but not angry. He gave Kaveh a few more moments to calm down, then moved away so he could gently wipe the tears from his baby's cheeks. "This is why you always hold my hand, remember?"

"S-sorry, Dada... Didn't mean to..." Kaveh, scared his dada was mad at him, nearly started crying again, but Alhaitham stopped that line of thought with a quick kiss to Kaveh's forehead.

"I'm not mad at you, Kav. I was just worried." The taller man straightened up and took Kaveh's hand firmly in his. "The museum is closing soon; how about we head home, and we can come back and explore more another day."

The prospect of returning to the museum later cheered Kaveh somewhat, and he followed Alhaitham toward the entrance with little fuss. His head still felt fuzzy and small, but his dada's warm hand in his assured him that he was safe and all was well. He knew that Alhaitham would always take care of him; even though others might see the man as distant or even cold, Kaveh knew the gentle, kind carer beneath, and loved Alhaitham for it.

By the time they exited the museum, the sun had fully set, and the city was lighting up around them. Alhaitham pulled Kaveh into his side, sheltering him from the winter chill. Kaveh peered up at him, eyes hopeful.

"Dada? When we get home, can we have soup an' playtime?"

Alhaitham sighed. "You aren't tired out yet?"

Kaveh grinned; he saw right through Alhaitham's apparent exasperation. "Nuh-uh!"

"...Fine then. But you can't complain when Dada says it's bedtime, alright?"

Kaveh nodded and smiled brightly. Though the cold fear of his earlier ordeal hadn't melted completely, it was being thawed by the prospect of his warm home and comforting partner. Kaveh leaned into Alhaitham's side, relaxing against the man as his mind drifted toward happier thoughts.

I'm not a huge fan of the ending, but I think this turned out alright, I hope you like it!

If anyone would like to request headcanons, check out this post! (They won't be full fics like this, just lists.) I also have an ask game active~

Thanks for reading!

hii hii! if you could do regressor alhaitham headcanons ill be forever grateful :•) thank you soo much!

•Alhaitham has a special soft blanket and a few plush toys that he clings to for comfort. His favorite is a small plush version of Paimon that he keeps with him at all times

•He loves to read picture books and is particularly fond of illustrated tales of adventure and heroism. Building block towers and solving simple puzzles also keep him entertained for hours

•When regressed, Alhaitham's typically analytical and composed demeanor softens significantly. He becomes more expressive, showing joy and curiosity with a childlike innocence !

•Kaveh often takes on a caregiver role, ensuring that Alhaitham is safe and content. Kaveh reads him stories, plays simple games, and ensures he eats properly

•His vocabulary simplifies, and he often speaks in shorter, simpler sentences. Sometimes, he even uses baby talk, which he would find incredibly embarrassing if he were his usual self

•Routine is essential for regressed Alhaitham. He feels secure knowing what's coming next, whether it's nap time, snack time, or playtime. Disruptions to his routine can make him anxious

•His tastes become simpler. He prefers sweet fruits, mild flavors, and soft textures. He loves warm milk with a touch of honey before bed !

•Alhaitham enjoys imaginative play, often creating elaborate scenarios with his toys. He might pretend to be a knight on a quest or a scholar discovering new lands

•Alhaitham is more sensitive to loud noises and bright lights when regressed. He prefers quieter environments with soft lighting

•He regresses as a way to cope with the immense pressure and stress of his responsibilities

•Kaveh is incredibly patient and understanding, knowing when Alhaitham needs space and when he needs comfort. He’s adept at picking up on Alhaitham’s cues and adjusting his care accordingly !

•Morning Routine : Kaveh gently wakes Alhaitham up with soft music and a warm hug, then helps him get dressed and ready for the day

•Even when regressed, Alhaitham’s love for learning shines through. He enjoys playing with educational toys that teach letters, numbers, and shapes

regressuary day 11! ptsd hit the lil dude hard. - kaveh

[baby--b4t]

hey pookster i’m just leaving this here because I know you’d do justice if you ever made it into a minific :3

kaveh absolutely LOVES horror/creepy things, especially when regressed, but alhaitham can’t do it. like CANNOT.

sincerely, 🐠fishie anon :3

OH MY GODS ANON YOURE SAVING MY WRITERS BLOCK RN (º̩̩́⌣º̩̩̀ʃƪ) im gonna try and write a quick minific in hopes that itll make me wanna post more and work on my bots. ALSO TY FOR THINKING SO HIGHLY OF ME- i feel like my writing is mid but ill try my best for this silly idea (its super late as of replying to this so sorry if its a bit jumbled or doesnt make sense-)

(fic under cut)

Kaveh was supposed to be in bed hours ago. 5 hours and 38 minutes, to be persice. Alhaitham had been counting. He did everything he though would work to get Kaveh to finally lay down, close his eyes, and rest, but nothing was working. Warm bottle, bedtime stories (he had read 7 different stories at this point), and even trying different stuffed animals and pajamas. Nothing. Alhaitham was exhausted.

“Hayi? Do da tree birdies sleep? Wha’ about… Oh! Wha’ about da creepy crawlies in da kitchen?” Kaveh had been asking nonsense questions like these all night, part of the reason he was still awake at nearly 4 in the morning.

“I dont know, Kaveh. What I do know-… Wait, whats in the kitchen?” Alhaitham began to answer before he registered what kaveh had said. He sat up in the bed a little bit and looked down at Kaveh. “What did you just say is in the kitchen?”

“Da creepy crawlies!” Kaveh excitedly exclaimed, a wide smile forming behind his pacifier. “Dey have 6 leg, 3 eye- BIG eyes, and are really teeny tiny. Dey walk around in da dark and eat da bread! Dats why it has all da holes.” Kaveh started giggling, his tiredness clearly showing in his speech.

Alhaitham felt puzzeled. More than when he was trying to figure out why Kaveh wasnt sleeping yet. But what was getting to him the most was the though of some spider-like creatures crawling around in his food while he didnt look. He shuddered, the thought of bugs in general making him feel gross. He rubbed up and down his arms for a moment, trying to get rid of his goosebumps, before pressing further into this. Surely it was Kaveh just being silly… Right?

“How do you know this? Who told you about these… ‘Creepy crawlers’?” Alhaitham asked as he tried to fight the tiredness in his mind. This whole talk took a turn that was not helping his already fatigued state of mind.

“Dey told me! I got mad ‘cause my sandwich had holes, and I asked and dey told me.” Kaveh explained trough slurred giggles and mumbles. “Dey very small, so is easy to make holes. I scolded dem like you always do for da holes…” The more Kaveh explained, the more Alhaitham imagined a ton of ant-sized abominations crawling around their pantry. He shook his head and tried not to gag.

“Kaveh, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the ‘creepy crawlers’ arent real. You probably dreamt about them at some point.” Alhaitham tried to explain to Kaveh, but Kaveh didnt seem to want to believe it.

“What?!” He sat up in the bed with Alhaitham, jaw dropping and his pacifier almost falling out. “But.. But dat were so cute-“ He felt himself tearing up over the fact that the little creatures he thought were so adorable werent actually real. Alhaitham sighed, realizing that now he had to deal with a meltdown.

“How about you go to sleep so you can dream about them? Does that sound like a good idea?” He suggested as he tried to coax Kaveh into laying down again. The poor baby was so tired at this point he didnt realize that Alhaitham was moving him. It did seem to stop his oncoming waterworks, however.

Kaveh gave a small nod and snuggled back up with Alhaitham. It seemed like as soon as his head hit the pillow, he was in a deep sleep. That baffled Alhaitham. How in the world would Kaveh be so willing to dream about thousands- No, millions of little spiders in his food? If Alhaitham saw them, he would already have a match in hand to burn the house down.

However, Kavehs great big imagination never failed to impress Alhaitham. He just seemed to show it so much more whenever he regressed. A soft sigh came from Alhaitham, just accepting it. His little Kaveh would just have that sort of creepy imagination and he couldnt stop it… But he would still be checking the entire house for bugs when they woke up. No ‘creepy crawlers’ get to live rent free.
